ThirdPersonCharacter removed at play start? Why?

I’m trying to spawn the player on the surface of a planet and when I click play the player actor is somehow being removed despite setting transform in the ThirdPersonCharacter blueprint, and also having NetworkPlayerStart set outside collision.

Is there a max height for player spawn or am I overlooking some other setting? Why is ThirdPersonCharacter removed?

Can you place the character there and play?

Are you sure about the Z value you’ve entered? 3,000,000? Isn’t that a lot? Considering this value, you might be falling out of the map that I think based on your game-mode boundaries, does get your character removed.
